This is extremely impressive.

Here is the average:

 

[DanpHan]

Is that your first 27?

 

[JackJ]

That's probably the best 4x4 solve I've ever seen. You are crazy fast.

 

[BoBoGuy]

What's the scramble?

Nice . Parity sucks lol.

Is the average of 5 your overall PB, or have you just not updated your sig?

It seems that Kevin's tps is higher than Feliks' on average for most of the steps.

I honestly believe if Kevin keeps it up, he can hold both WRs in a matter of months. His 35.xx average in the finals was almost entirely with double parity as well.

Keep in mind that part of the reason for his sudden improvement spike has been the WeiSu - however, it is still very, very impressive!

Not to lower Kevin's amazing solve, but Feliks was using a mediocre ShenShou 4x4, and Feliks' solve was considerably more lucky/easy than Kevin's. Lucky solves generally have lower TPS because there's less "spam".

This is probably the double parity WR though

 

[Noahaha]

Because of the single I almost missed the 4 second drop in average PB. Pretty crazy.

Hey, if a new cube motivates, by all means let it work it's magic . It would be awesome to see Kevin hold all the big cube WR's at once. I bet he can take 5x5 and 7x7..

You're probably right... He's placed 4th in the world both officially and unofficially... At worlds I remember him being super hype after getting a 32 avg5 while practicing...

Or just Kevin for 4x4, then Kevin for 5x5-7x7

I don't think Feliks' current 5x5 WR will be beaten (except by him) for a long time.

A little bit, i know, but I have raced Kevin on the side and he's gotten 30-33 against me for months now

unofficially? is there a ranking list?

 

[yoinneroid]

unofficially? is there a ranking list?

I'm pretty sure he meant single and average...
unless there really is a ranking list

Feliks just got the UWR 4x4 avg5 with a WeiSu.

Nobody other than mats, feliks, and sebastien have faster than him avg12.
